letra de little redwood - khaila wilcoxon

[becca]
in the ancient past
two thousand years or more
a little redwood seed falls to the forest floor
while native tribes flourish nearby and thousands of eagles rule the sky
a year passes by
and that little seed now stands eighteen inches high

and years speed on past
the little tree has grown
as across the world decrees were made, than carved in rosetta stone
while in the east, stones are laid by hand to build the great wall across the land
the little rеdwood stands
and when each year’s complеte, it’s grown four or five feet

human history’s growing pains
never shake the little redwood’s strength
through thousands of years and billions of lives
the little redwood still survives
so honor the giants, bow down in silence…

two hundred years pass
the tree grows in size
as a child is born in bethlehem and a roman empire dies
there’s a magna carta and a children’s crusade while the world fights over how borders are made
the little redwood grows
a thousand years fly by, that tree’s two hundred feet high
invaders bring noise, they k!ll and destroy
themselves and the trees with violent machines
there’s civil wars and cold wars, and men invade the redwood’s shores
all for timber, all for greed while the redwoods watch in disbelief…

human history’s growing pains
never shake the little redwood’s strength
through thousands of years and billions of lives
the little redwood survives and thrives
and still today, continues to rise
for years to come, after we’re gone
the redwoods will carry on!

so, honor the giants
bow down in silence…
